Gates K060882 Micro V Serpentine Drive Belt

UPDATE: I have been driving around now with this belt for a month or so and it has worked great. The old squealing noise I had before I changed the belt is gone. The engine even sounds like it runs smoother and more quiet now. The old belt showed no signs of it being smooth or wearing after we got it off. But, the noise is gone now that this new belt is on and the engine sounds more smooth. Old Review: My old belt has started to squeal and make a horrible noise. I was able to test it with the water test and it stopped and later the baby powder method (to stop the squealing noise until I got this replacement), so I knew that it was the belt that needed to be replaced and nothing else. I had a friend replace the belt for me as it was beyond what I was comfortable doing. It was a little hard for him to get the old one off and put this new one on this time. He replaced the old one as well years ago for me when it started to squeal. I am hopeful this one is going to last longer as it's a higher end one I think that the ones at the local parts stores. Although they did have this one locally too, but the cost was nearly double of Amazon. So I ordered it off Amazon, it was a day late in being delivered from what it was supposed to be delivered, but it came the next day. What really surprised me the most about replacing it, is how much quieter the engine is now. I expected that much of the noise before was from the belt squealing now and then, but even when it was not, the old belt must have been causing it to run louder because now for what ever reason my 4Runner is much quieter in the engine area. I have a 2004 Sport V8 4x4. It has been a good Toyota for me and this new timing belt fit it well. My friend did have a little trouble getting the old one off and this one on, but once he got it on, it worked good. I have drove now a few days with it and it has worked great.

So far so good. Haven’t had any issues yet and quality felt really good when installing. No slipping, very durable, size is as described. No noise so far and the price was great! Less than other retailers.

Great wear on this belt, 90,000 miles on last and it had more life, didn't want to chance it

Good quality belt

I had to do a coolant system refurb on my Jeep WJ 4.0. The main problem was a worn out fan clutch but it was leaking around the water pump too. I did the "while you're in there's" too so water pump, fan clutch, thermostat, thermostat housing, heater hose pipe and Fel-Pro upgraded gaskets with Honda-Bond RTV Silicone sealant and a new serpentine belt too. Everything worked great but to get the old fan clutch off I had to cut the nut part that screws on to the water pump shaft. I used a new Milwaukee M18 Orbital Super Sawzall, my reward for doing this DIY job. I didn't want to buy the Sawzall but after trying two parts store rental fan clutch removal tools with absolutely zero success, I got medieval on it. 15 minutes and two saw blades later the repair could proceed. The lower fan shroud fasteners are another pain in the ass for that job but after that, no big deal. After carefully cleaning all of the gasket surfaces and applying a reasonable amount of Hondabond, everything reassembled easily, I put the old hoses back in place refilled the system and burped it. Now my engine temperature stays right at 195 I think and beside warming up, the needle never budges. Before it would overheat if I wasn't traveling at 45mph+ and I had to add coolant almost every time I drove. That was mostly the fan clutch causing that but everything I used to fix it is working perfectly so far.

Fits like intended, haven't experienced any belt noise or slips, and seems durable. It's a easy replacement that'll save you money

It fits Lexus LS430 2005 quite well. Noise gone right after installed. 10 minute installation worth every penny!!

Great product

Perfect fit on a 2004 wrangler TJ and good quality belt.

As described, it fit my vehicle perfectly
